What about The Final Season? That's still listed as 'coming soon'. Will it come soon? Or is that also affected by the de-listing?

It's mentioned in the OP:

Maybe you should be more accurate and tell us when you are talking about the Linux version. The Windows version got several updates and is at version 5.0.0.s3058.a7522.

Don't want to defend the devs or GOG for not updating the Linux version (and also the Mac version), but when you leave out facts in a discussion, people won't really take you serious.

Sad news, but I'm glad to get informed by GOG this time.

@GOG: Will there be a last chance sale for respective titles?

I don't care for Windows version. For all intents and purposes for me it does not exist. And right now I see that the game is outdated. And I didn't "leave out facts", whether Linux or Windows, it is irrelevant and completely tangential to the point. Besides, "This War of Mine" already had such issue (on top of still lacking modding support) for all platforms.

But GOG permits such behavior.

Considering that they have been in the process of removing them for 22 hours (at least) and haven't put them on sale yet suggests that there won't be a goodbye sale. But HunchBluntley's post indicates that this removal may be temporary.

How is it irrelevant? For about 90% of the users the game isn't outdated, but up-to-date. And what should GOG do in that case. Delist the game? How would the 90% for whom the game is up-to-date benefit from it? And how would you in the end? Because if they'd completely delist it, you'd probably never get thae update.

In my eyes the only thing they could do is no longer support the Linux version (and maybe add it as an unsupported extra). And once again, how would you benefit from that?

Gotcha! It is "Not my problem -- not my pain" approach.
Apparently, according to your logic, if the game is outdated on Windows it is a big NO, but if the exact same situation happens on Linux (or Mac, or whatever) it is totally OK and one can say it is not a denial of service.
Yes, if it helps. Or if GOG is intended to show that "Customer-first approach" slogan is more than just a marketing BS.

Delist one and others will be wary of such misbehavior. Or GOG could include fines for delayed/missed updates regardless of the platform. Or some other way, I don't care. I want my update, as I payed my money for it.

It is GOG's problem how to enforce games' freshness.

And why should I care about that "90%"? I am as much as indifferent to WIndows-users' well-being as you are willing to dismiss my situation. :)

I will get my money back from a refund. The same money (and the same amount 90% of yours' paid) I could give to more honest and supportive developers.



Maybe you should look at my other posts again. I said that I won't defend them for not updating Linux and Mac version. And you are also incorrect, that outdated Windows version is a big no for me. While I'm not exactly happy when it happens, I'm also not that obsessed about updates and patches as other people around here are. In most cases the missing/delayed updates are just minor stuff (like fixing typos and very rare bugs or additional features like level editors that most people won't use anyway.

I still think developers should try to keep their games up-to-date here, but I'm also not really angry when it takes some time for them to do so.

Who tells you that they don't already have clauses about fines for developers who don't keep their games up-to-date? It certainly is something that neither GOG nor the developers/publishers would talk about.

So in other words you want to punish 90% of the gamers that get a perfectly well working game, just because you are not content with the version you got for your "niche" OS? How would that help you? It's more like acting like a little child: "If I can't have fun with the toy, then no one els should play with it!".

Just ask them. I'm pretty sure you can already get a refund and don't have to wait for the game to be delisted.

Yeah, let's do that.

But one last point: You doubt my neutrality, because I posted the changelog in the respective game forum???

You really seem to have no idea how things on GOG work. Changelogs on GOG aren't public, so users post them in the game fora all the time. It's just a service to people who are interested. You don't need to have any connection to the game development team to do so.

They have and they do. (Just for information)

What are you people talking about?
What email?

I never got nothing, and I just rechecked twice - nothing.

Not that I missed anything as I wasn't going to buy anything, but was I supposed to receive some email notification from GOG about this?

GOGdb has problems reading the new site. I have This War of Mine and it's 5.0.0.
